Trying something different with a hook... this is something Im making for my customers. Will mold, cast and give away at the anniversary party. Still have a lot of little detail finishing, sanding, staining, poly, etc.. but the rough is done.
Thanks for looking!

Oh, the tiki will actually hang by its feet... supposed to be a hook necklace/tiki hook.

Man-O-Man, I'm seeing some Great strides here Scott, Love where you are going. Really Happy to see the amount of detail you are taking the time to perfect.
I have a Brother -in-law in Moline who we might visit one of these days and you can bet when we do I'm Coming your way! Gotta see how you are doing all this stuff!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I continue to enjoy learning what I can/can't do with bone. My skill level requires that I make things a little bigger, so here is an attempt at a larger pendant. I'ts a Hawaiian plant I really like called the lawai fern with two plumeria. Measures about 2.5 inches high. I tried carving a raised vein in the fern and raised spores. I like how it turned out and will continue to experiment with this. I'm probably most proud of this piece to date. Also an image of another hibiscus with a tea stain.

When I made this hibiscus, I originally liked it. But after looking for a while, I feel that I need to work on a little larger of a scale before going this small again (like the pros here at TC But I'm really enjoying the process of learning how to carve bone. I'm really able to lose myself in the tediousness!

Absolutely amazing! Your detail work is stupendous! I've seen your tat designs which are great by the way but I think you found your true calling as a 3-D artist.

I also am just starting in bone carving & was just roaming in here to find a few tips, inspiration. Keep it up! I loved that tat design with the tiki partial with cracked wood grain detal. Never seen that before.
